My favourite cartoon ships 2.0!
1. Broppy, Branch and Queen Poppy, Trolls
Such an adorable couple with highly entertaining interactions, anything from bickering to heartfelt encouragement. Great yin and yang with very opposite yet very compatible personalities. These two truly have changed each other’s lives for the better, bring out the best in each other, and would do anything for each other - you can’t have one without the other. I’m not much into reading fanfics in general, but have read all kinds of Broppy ones! Hopefully we’ll get another special and series!
2. Elixie, Eli Shane and Trixie Sting, Slugterra
Close friends who are always there for each other, loyal teammates who work really well together, who both pester and support one another. Cute interactions that, to me, give the vibe that they could become more than friends in the future. I don’t know, there’s just something about them that catches my attention, so many options for fanfics!
3. Embade (not sure if there’s a ship name for them yet), Wade Ripple and Ember Lumen, Elemental
About as opposite as two people can be! I fell in love with these two immediately - their dynamic is highly entertaining, being fire and water they have unique interactions no other couple could have, their dance scene / first touch gives me butterflies, their first date is the cutest thing ever, and I like how it wasn’t ‘love at first sight’ - they got to know each other first, then fell in love, and they really improved each other’s lives.
4. The Love Square (Adrinette, Ladynoir, Marichat, Ladrien), Adrien Agreste / Chat Noir and Marinette Dupain-Cheng / Ladybug, Miraculous Ladybug
Four ships in one, so lots of options for different fun stories between the characters! I’ve read a few neat fan-comics of them, their varying dynamics are always interesting. This ship also moved down my favourites list, because I personally thought their ‘just friends’ status dragged on too long in canon.
5. Simonette, Simon Seville and Jeanette Miller, ALVINNN!!!
Close friends who have similar hobbies and compatible personalities, I love the episodes where they interact, especially helping each other on projects or just hanging out. They would make an adorable couple, I’d love to see them on a sweet little date. I’m not a huge fan of the CGI movies, but I watch Chipwrecked solely for their interactions.
6. Guep (no solid decent ship name for them so I’m going with this), Guy and Eep Crood, The Croods
I love the fact that she’s stronger and bigger than him, and far from a typical girly girl, it makes a unique and unconventional couple. Also, they take care of each other, it’s never one-sided (the macho guy rescuing the dainty damsel, or the powerful woman rescuing the weak guy).
7. Eugunzel, Eugene Fitzherbert and Princess Rapunzel, Tangled
Tons of excellent interactions in the series, a healthy relationship and another couple who has given each other better lives. She’s not the typical dependent princess, but not an overly powerful female either, just the perfect balance. And like Guep, he rescues her, and she rescues him; both have strengths and weaknesses, making them a very realistic pair.
8. Hiccstrid, Hiccup Haddock and Astrid Hofferson, How To Train Your Dragon
Another couple where she’s the stronger one. I like their teamwork and interactions - even though she’s much bolder than him, she respects his leadership and is loyal to him. At the same time, he respects her and is open to her suggestions.
9. Jilaire, Jim Lake Jr. and Claire Nunez, Trollhunters
Their development from barely friends to a close couple was natural and realistic. There is literally nothing these two wouldn’t do for each other (Jim risking his life and breaking the law to save Claire’s brother, Claire fully accepting Jim no matter what physical form he’s in)
10. Snowlin, Prince Merlin and Princess Snow White, Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarves
Excellent messages about true beauty. The rare movie relationship where the main female does not represent ideal beauty standards, yet still ends up in a happy relationship. These two learned to truly love each other for who they are on the inside, regardless of their appearance, and will surely stick by each other’s sides no matter what.
